defendant the st. Louis Court of Appeals
last Tuesday affirmed the judgment in the
| case of S. B. Sale VS.. Peck. This suit was
decided in favor Of plaintiff at the last term
OF Circuit Court and an appeal was taken by
defendant which resulted as above.
| Messrs. Newman & Pruitt are this wees
busily engaged repainting and refitting the
Iron Mountain Hotel at Iron Mountain. A
trip was made to st. Louis last week by one
OF the firm and over 800 worth of wall paper
bought for use in that building. When they
ure, both inside and out, will have the APP
pearance of bran new edifice, and with Joe
Reyburn as landlord, pleasanter place to
stop will be hard to find. In this connection
it will not be out of place to state that New
man & Pruitt are earning most enyiable
| reputation in their line all through this Sec
! ton, and when any especially fine work is
desired they are pretty sure to capture the
job.
The Fredericktown Plaindealer, speaking
of the continuance of the Nance case at the
late term of the Madison Circuit Court says
"The continuance was necessitated by the
neglect or carelessness of the Iron county
sheriff." Now here are the facts in the case
On the 31st of March Sheriff Whitworth re-
ceived an attachment commanding him to
have the body of W. P. d eguire in Freder-
icktown on the 29th-two days before the re-
ceipt of the attachment. The envelope bore
the Fredericktown post-mark of March 30th
Our Iron county officials are pretty well up
snuff, as all the world knows, and much
may be reasonably expected of them: but
our sheriff is not a Joshua to command the
sun to stand still, or Farther Time to turn
two days backward in his flight, in order that
the procastinati,n of Madison county officials
may be annihilated.
Among the proceedings in Justice Dinger's
court for the past week we notice, George
Bullard got on tear Saturday and was
placed in Jail to calm down. Monday he had
his trial and being unable to pay his fine and
costs-$17-he will board several days longer
at the county's expense. Two small boys on
Marble Creek, one the son of S. G. Shular,
the other that of John Pannebaker, got into
an alteration one day last week, and young
Shular cut junior Pannebaker with a knife.
The trial of Shular will be had to- day. Fanjo
Robertson, the tramp of whose misdoings we
made mention last week, was bound over to
await the action of the grand jury. Word
was received down town Monday afternoon
that several Dagos in the north end were
getting hilarious and threatened to disturb
the peace of the neighborhood. An officer
was Immediately dispatched to the scene but
the Easter celebraters had vamoosed before
he arrived. Better look out, we natives of
sunny Italy, such fun 'mUch costa"
The following taken from the Temple
(Ienas) Daily Ne,cs will be of interest to
our readers. The bride therein will be re-
membered by all old residents as the daught-
er of our fellow citizen, Mr.. p. GARNER, and
for many years a resident of our city:
'There was pleasant little ceremony at the
Episcopal church last night just at the close
of the sermon, when MIR. c. III. Wisdom, the
photographer and Miss &. f. GARNER, the
former Western Union telegraph operator,
both of this city, We're united in the bonds of
holy matrimony, by the pastor of the church,
Rev. F. W. Wey, Capt. J. A. Harris giving
away the bride. Quite number of friends
witnessed the ceremony, after which the
bride and groom repaired to their new home
which has been ready for them for several
DAYS. The Times extends it's cOngratula-
tions and wishes the happy pair many years
of unalloyed happiness" We but echo the
universal wish of ,he estimable lady's friends
here in trusting that her welded life may
prove one of long and uninterrupted happi-
ness.
We regret to learn of the unwise ard in
discreet policy being pursued by land owners
| in the Valley generally, but in Arcadia par
| ticularly, since the purchase of the hotel
property by the railroad company. 1t was
| but to be expected that real estate there
abouts would, of course, raise in value ac-
cord ingly, but the eXhorbitant and fabulous
prices now asked by parties who really de.
sire to sell can never be realized and if this
present course is continued and insisted
upon it will undoubtedly weaken the era O1
prosperity which Arcadia seems now fully
on the way to be entering. Never day
passes but inquiries come from st. Louis
wealthy and influential men who wish tC
make purchases but they do net expect to
neither will they pay for country homes
prices equal tC those asked for business cite:
IN the crowed thoroughfares of St. Louis
We hope and believe that ere another issue
of the REGISTER appears these parties will
have awakened to u realization of their, a
least, impolitic policy, and place such o
their property as they care to dispose of o,
the market at a fair rate which, we have bu
little doubt, Will find ready purchasers WIN
will make such improvements as will retlec
credit on their town and give it steady nat
ural growth that will make itself felt TO
Years to come.
Ed. Register-I see you were able las
week to tell where the money was, whlc
the children raised in and about the publ
school; but why don't you answer the in
uuiry as TO what became of the money col
lected from the citizens last year to make
good road around shepherds Mountain
| Please let us Know. Seems to me the rOa
; ought to be built or the money returned.

This matter has doubtless been overlook
